Mechanical Installation

This chapter provides instructions for moving shipping splits (= complete drive
systems divided into parts before shipping), fastening them to the floor and joining
them together.
See DCS800 Technical Catalogue (3ADW000192) and DCS800 Hardware Manual
(3ADW000194) for allowed operating conditions of the DC thyristor power
converters. For sufficient room around the unit see
Room around the unit is required to enable cooling air flow, service and
maintenance. Proper mechanical installation is an important element for a trouble
free installation and should be followed closely.
The DC thyristor power converter cabinets should be installed in an upright vertical
position.
The floor the unit is installed on should be of non-flammable material, as smooth
as possible, and strong enough to support the weight of the unit. The floor flatness
must be checked with a water level before fastening the cabinets into their final
position. The maximum allowed deviation of the surface level must be < 5 mm for
every 3 m of length. The installation area should be leveled, since the cabinet is
not equipped with adjustable feet.
The wall behind the unit should be of non-flammable material.

Required Tools

The tools required for moving the shipping splits to their final position, fastening to
the floor and tightening the connections are listed below:
1.) Iron bar and roller tubes or similar tools to move the shipping splits;
2.) Torx (2.5 - 6 mm) screwdrivers for the tightening of the frame screws;
3.) Torque wrench;
4.) A 17 - 19 mm wrench set for tightening the AC horizontal busbars between
5.) A 17 mm wrench set for tightening the PE busbars between shipping splits.
